“Self-belief is as important a skill for doing well in the workplace as breathing. If you don’t believe you’re able to deliver, you’ll never get going, let alone see it through. But self-belief isn’t enough on its own. As Harvard Business School professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter puts it, ‘it’s not enough just to feel confident. You have to do the work.’ And sometimes, it can even get in the way. The idea that we have an unwavering, steely core of self-belief that will see us through come what may is unattainable and often damaging.”
